Very nice, Cillaliz.
Just heard from the director of THE PRODUCERS. He is evidently close friends with his neighbor, Ken Thorne (AFTHOTWTTF film Oscar, and a bunch of Beatles related stuff), who wants to lend the show some keyboards. Ken may also travel up north to see the show. That will be fun.

Oh, and TODAY IN THEATRE HISTORY...Thorton Wilder's OUR TOWN opened today in 1938 at the Henry Miller Theatre. To celebrate, don't forget your rubbers!
Thanks for the decorating pics, DR Cillaliz! Richard and I have been discussing some projects that we'll get serious about when the weather improves. We like to be able to open the windows when painting is being done (notice I didn't say "when we're painting" )
Cilla it looks as if all your hard work is paying off. Congrats!!!
~~~~Special Health Vibes and Prayers for Laura's sister~~~~

I thus can not have a hard copy and can not compile a disc of this year's Golden Globe and Oscar song nominees.I've tried by converting to wave files but it still can't be copied. I am vexed!Tom, Google "Protected Music Converter" and download it--you get a couple of uses free before you need to pay the Shareware price, which isn't bad, as I recall.

But it just seems so wrong to me to cut up books.DR Jennifer - that's a standard rebinding practice for paperbacks. The alternative would probably be discarding the book all together.I did not know that. I need to check my library. But i have never seen a book rebinded in this way. Although all the soft covers i've taken out from my library have been the larger one. I am going to check and see what the smaller ones look like. But i just found it very odd (it looks odd too).DR George may be able to confirm this, but I think libraries can even purchase new paperbacks pre-bound in the manner you describe. The library from which I just retired acquired paperbacks with heavy-duty clear plastic covers.

I can convert to all file formats but if it's protected, it's protected and you won't be able to copy it.
MP3 . Jeff's suggestion worked.Thank you DRs for the suggestions etc. I now have a "hard" copy.
